The manically productive month of March continues. Here are some undead which I have painted up as colour scheme testers (and for use in last week's D&D game). From left to right we have two Mantic ghouls, three metal GW ghouls and two Mantic zombies.

I don't have enough undead for a full army - just enough for a SoBaH warband and for use in D&D. The zombies and ghouls painted up really quickly so I might paint up some more at some point when I need some quick wins.

Currently on my workbench I have some assorted dwarves and some Hasslefree human adventurers (for D&D) but I'm also considering painting up my DreadBall Veer-myn. Decisions aplenty.

Oops, I have just realised that I forgot to post up a picture of my customised turn counter. I painted up this chap the night before the Clash of Kings. He's the "Thinking Elf's General" from Mantic. At the moment you can only get him via the Mantic points rewards or in some of the larger army sets.

Stuff is leaving my workbench and joining the painted pile at quite a rate at the moment.

First here's a cute little young red dragon. Its an old citadel miniature which I stripped and re-painted on a whim. I've always had a soft spot for this miniature even though I never could get the wings to stay on for long. Hopefully the pin I used will finally keep them in place.

And next up are three Ramshackle games Dungers which I've bought for use as Mawbeasts in my Goblin Kings of War army. I'm happy with how they turned out so I will paint up the rest soon.

The remaining Draconians are coming along too but they're not done yet.

Well after a week of accounts paperwork and bad health yesterday was unexpectedly productive.

Firstly we have the DreadBall ref. In person she looks a lot nicer than the photo would suggest.

Next up we have Frodo. Poor little chap has been stuck on my workbench for a very long time waiting for me to get the inspiration to finish him. Yesterday I tidies him up, gave him a few highlights and set him on his way.

And lastly some D&D Draconians. I think I've had this set for almost 20 years so it really was time to put some paint on them, especially as they're getting used on a weekly basis in out D&D sessions at the moment.

Once I have the final batch of Draconians done then I might get round to that Marauder DreadBall team I was meaning to work on.

About Me

I've been a wargamer for over thirty years and in that time I have collected far too many wargames miniatures most of which are still unpainted. This is the chronicle of my attempt to do something about it.
